Zeolite is silica and so is DE, so for the money I would go with food grade DE. Actually I could choose clay, like Eaton's Three Clay blend over the DE. www.eytonsearth.com has
a link to his commercial clay site.

They all come out of the ground. And you need to know who you are buying from since any of them can be contaminated. DE has significant Aluminum Oxide and while it is not suppose to be bioavailable it makes me uncomfortable knowing it is on the analysis sheet. DE is also very powdery and fine, so is clay but it is not so fluffy so might be easier to work with. There is a lot of data on the absorptive and adsorptive properties of clay.

I would not buy Zeolite from an MLM, period. I used to buy 50lb bags for $25 and then it started being marketed in one pound net bags for $12.00 at dog shows as a deodarizer. I had been putting pounds of it in shallow boxes under the beds and couch to absorb odors for years. But I would not have at $12.00 a pound. This was 20 years ago.
